Moily (yes, the same of the infamous Moily Tapes) needed to be responded to though sadly, not a single newspaper - I read several - even managed to engage him in a dispute. I picked up the gauntlet and said my piece. The www.rediff.com gave me the space:http://news.rediff.com/column/2010/sep/15/on-corruption-moily-is-utterly-wrong.htm
